The cover begins Short-Term Focused Serial 18, "Zoro's 'Where Are Those Guys? They're Such a Pain,'" with Vol. 1 titled "A Giant Gravestone Outside the Ruins." Zoro stands among ruined buildings and strange dark shapes beside a huge cross-shaped gravestone, while a small figure floats or hangs in the air nearby. This cover is separate from the Marineford battle, but it starts Zoro's separated cover story after the Straw Hats were scattered. Page 1: Ace watches the war from the execution platform and begins accepting whatever future may come. He thinks, "I feel like I can accept any future at this point. I'll grasp the hand that will reach out to save me... I'll also accept the blade that will swing down to judge me... I won't resist anymore. I owe everyone that much." Around him, voices from the battlefield echo: Luffy yelling, "I'm going to save you even if it kills me!!!" the pirates promising not to leave a single one of the bastards who hurt Ace alive, and Whitebeard's men saying they are coming to get him. Ace is moved to tears, but then he notices something new on the battlefield and reacts with a sharp, startled pause. Page 2: Luffy, Ivankov and the escapees push through Marine fire and blades. Cannons blast from the wall while Luffy and Ivankov rush across the battlefield, scattering Marines and dodging attacks amid huge SFX. The page is mostly action, with Luffy's group forcing a path through the Marine ranks after Whitebeard's order to protect him. Ace watches the chaos from above as the rescue attempt turns into a full charge across Marineford. Page 3: Buggy's followers are impressed by Luffy's instant battlefield fame and say, "The guy managed to get all eyes on him in an instant. In the middle of this war!! That Strawhat...!!" They urge Captain Buggy not to let Luffy outdo him and suggest taking Whitebeard's head themselves. Buggy says it is easy to claim but the battlefield is full of world-famous faces from both the pirates and Marines. Then Whitebeard notices him and calls, "Oi! Red-nose!!" Buggy explodes, "Who the hell d'you think you're calling red-nose!!?" but Whitebeard remembers him: "That takes me back. So you're still alive, eh? Why, if it isn't the little brat from Roger's ship." Buggy panics that Whitebeard is looking right at him and that he is done for. Page 4: Buggy's followers marvel that their captain is talking to Whitebeard and call him legendary, while Buggy trembles and tells them to stop talking like it has nothing to do with him. Whitebeard asks whether Buggy and his convicts mean to take his head, and Buggy forces himself to answer, "D... damn right we do!! It's been a while, huh!? I hope you're ready for this!!" Whitebeard replies that he does not particularly mind if Buggy tries, but he is having trouble with the Marines and asks what Buggy says to joining forces as fellow pirates to crush the Marines first, then thinking about his head afterward. Buggy is stunned that Whitebeard is speaking to him like an equal, while his followers ask just how strong Whitebeard really is. Page 5: Buggy accepts Whitebeard's offer and declares, "Very well, Whitebeard!! I'll take you up on that!!!" His men faint and cheer, thinking he is on equal terms with Whitebeard. Buggy imagines that he and Whitebeard together could crush the Marines and that he, the king of the world, can actually do it. Whitebeard observes that Buggy is a simple one, then says he does not know about that red-nose, but the convicts on his side are reasonably strong and he does not want to deal with them as enemies right now. He notices that he has lost sight of Squardo and calls the Decalvan Brothers, telling them to follow his directions and take command of all the pirate crews. Page 6: Whitebeard's allied captains begin moving under orders. One captain says he will take the right, another says they will take the left, and others answer that they understand. More allies say they are heading right, proceeding left, and sending their ships wherever needed. A Marine reports to Sengoku, "Admiral Sengoku! We're seeing a change in the New World pirates' movements!" Sengoku looks over the battlefield and says, "Yes... They seem to have split to the left and right..." The pirates' fleet begins shifting in a coordinated pattern, showing that Whitebeard has responded to Sengoku's operation with his own. Page 7: Pirate ships move in and attack the Marine battleships, with Marines shouting, "They're attacking the battles...
